Agreed. I think I'll try to write a 'unixclientsink' first, as it seems to be
working with the ported 0.8 patch proposal. 

INET and UNIX domain socket code have quite a lot of common code, but I don't
know yet any better way to organise this (e.g. renaming tcp* elements probably
is not going to be worth the mess).
